I've been searching around online for a couple weeks for anyone that has had a similar problem, but haven't found anything yet. That probably means that either there is something wrong with my car, or something wrong with me. I hope this topic hasn't been covered here, as I don't want to waste anyone's time.
This senario has occured about a dozen times now. From a dead stop I depress the clutch, put the car in 1st, release the clutch and the car doesn't move / tranny grinds. I depress the clutch again, push forward on the shifter, it moves forward another half inch or so, and then I can take off. So the shifter is going into the 1st gear gate, and fooling me into thinking that it's all the way in and fully engaged, when in reality it apparently isn't.
Every time this happens I feel like a complete dope. I've driven / owned many manual vehicles and never had this happen to me ever. So my question is is there something wrong with the car (clutch hanging / shift linkage), or do I need to just practice because this car is very different from my other Stangs?
Any input is greatly appreciated, I'm scratching my head here.
PS. It's '14 GT500
